Zooey


The kids did not have school last Monday. We did not want to stay home, so we went to Grandma & Grandpa L's with cousins for lunch then to the zoo.
It was a drizzly day & we pretty much had the zoo to ourselves. The kids had a great time, until the gift shop when Emma had major meltdown over an elephant stuffed animal.
The kids chased a peacock.




The boys were on some silly animals. Mason was on a turkey.

Emma had a giraffe shirt in honor of her cousin Becca who had been a giraffe in Suessical at her school.

Emma insisted on pushing the stroller. Fine with me!

The gorilla put on a good show for us. Shortly after this picture he upchucked in his hand then licked it clean, so gross!

We had a great time! We bought passes so we'll have to go again one of these days (as long as I promise to buy the stuffed elephant).

Isaac and Sarah make such "special" peacocks!

Hold strong, Julie - Emma doesn't need an elephant, especially if she has such a fit. (Hmm, I think I'm going to be a mean mommy.)

Was a good day. A first going off season, but nice with no crowds.

I had a great time and have found the thoughts of the gross gorilla to be a great appetite suppressant when I am feeling munchy. My kids are dying to go back. Jonah still thinks he MUST have the immense $150 stuffed gorilla from the gift shop....um...no.
